As part of this tour, I create some merchandise - simple rule of thumb here... Having something - even a demo CD of 4 songs - is critical. People want something they can take away. The t-shirts and CD combo were a key piece of funding this tour and leaving people with a piece of me.
Currently,2 more designs are in the works.
I am also recording a new CD project, for completion in 6 weeks. Working title is "Where I Belong" - the title track being a more hopeful look at climbing back to a "Where I Belong".
Finally, I recently (yesterday) starting playing around with ArtistData.com. I love what they are doing - providing a single source for performance and news updates across various social media sites. Believe me, if I can enter my calendar data once and have it update my website, twitter, facebook, reverbnation, myspace, etc. and send notifications/updates to a variety of concert listing sites and media outlets, that is worth what I pay for it (free) and more.
